Some cleaning services also have  their own laundry facility services, so they don't have to wash sheets and towels in your unit.

One of the recent 'touches' we are going to add since we have the equipment at our 'day job' is to laminate the front and back covers and use a binding machine (total cost about $150 for them) instead of just stapling things. 

Like @Natalie Kolodij mentioned, the Washing Real Estate Investor's Club is a great place to meet other investors and build your toolbox.  

I’m looking at hooking up a washing machine in my house.

@Ashish Acharya, you are a machine! 

Since the main point of the new tax law was to lower taxes on business and investment I think once it all washes out there isn't going to be any change regarding 1031's and cost segregation, remember most members of congress own property and they want the tax benefits of real estate as much as we do. 

This plus the fact that the building is in a rather poor state leads me to believe that the revenue from the HOA fees and coined operated laundry machines may be going in someone's pocket rather than in maintaining the building.

I plan on putting down new rules and cleaning, painting, and buying an o zone machine for when people move out.

She said that’s her cash machine.  

I'd love to hear the response, heck maybe they can put a good spin on it and sell some more people.About a year in to the next down economy, it'll all come out in the wash.
